I've logged over 1,200 miles on my 80cc engine. This last summer on a ride back home on a hot day, the engine started to bog down while at full speed. I figured it was getting too hot so I stopped for a while. Upon starting back up, it ran normally for a bit, then started bogging down again.
After that, it ceased to give power after it warmed up. It would start out strong but lose power after only a couple minutes of riding. Strangely though, when I give it gas with the clutch disengaged, it revs fine but no power - this is the part I didn't see in the searches I did on this forum so I figured I'd put it out there.
I cleaned out the carburetor and changed the spark plug with no success. Any suggestions before I pull the cylinder head off? (I'm not confident I can successfully get the piston rings back in so I'm hoping to leave this as a last resort)
Thanks!
